I snapped one of mine while trying to twist off the nut...then I was fuct.
I ended up taking out the turbo and drilling out the other studs as well to 13/16ths.
Then I put in new bolts and nuts (5/8ths (metric equivalent, forget what)...and bolted the turbo to the downpipe bend....
At the same time, I was sure to smooth down the surface between the bend and the turbo to ensure less leakage (I could see the steam on cold mornings when just starting before metal expanded)...
THis set up was a worrysome headache, but came out fine in the end....
Those studs suck.
